With over 10 years’ experience in the sports industry, I won an athletic scholarship in 2009 to join Northeastern State University (Oklahoma), then ranked in the top 10 of NCAA D2. A former player, tennis coach and active member of several tennis clubs in France, I hold a Master’s degree in Business Management. I have worked as Western Europe Director and Business Development Director for the two largest sports bursary agencies in the world. During my seven years with these organizations, I was able to help hundreds of athletes and save their families over $5,000,000 in sports scholarships.
